Nice to meet another UK blogger! Great choices for the challenge. The Wasp Factory is indeed on the bizarre side... The Book of Lost Things is a brilliant book, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you do too! I also love Daphne du Maurier's work, and it is perfect for the R.I.P challenge. I'm so pleased to see her on many of the lists people have posted. As for the weather, it's currently a tad chilly and rather wet here in Dorset. Perfect R.I.P reading weather!

I almost put The Book of Lost Things on my list but went for Lovecraft instead. I hope I don't regret that! What a fun list!

And really? The leaves are already starting to turn there? I can't wait for Autumn but it'll be at least another 2 months before the leaves change here.

Cath, I'm really intrigued by The Book of Lost Things now! Katrina, I've dipped into The Wasp Factory - it certainly looks different. Danielle, I haven't got The House on the Strand yet, otherwise I'd be reading it now - I love Du Maurier's books, especially Rebecca - time to re-read that one soon.

The rest sound good, too. I should read The House on the Strand, though I am rereading Rebecca right now. I hope to read some of her short stories at least. I need to check out your other titles now.
